The Hungarian Grand Prix saw Lando Norris take pole and victory, though not without a challenge. Oscar Piastri initially led, but Norris' strategy and pace ultimately secured his win. A key incident involved Piastri clashing with Carlos Sainz while lapping, costing Piastri significant time and a potential podium. Sainz received a time penalty for the collision.

Max Verstappen secured second place, fighting off Ferraris. Charles Leclerc took fastest lap but finished fourth, partly due to a penalty for Lewis Hamilton, who was penalized for speeding in the pit lane. Hamilton's initial grid penalty for blocking Piastri in qualifying also impacted his race.

Mercedes, usually dominant, struggled for pace. Kimi Antonelli secured the final podium spot, benefiting from Ferrari's late pit stops under a Virtual Safety Car. The race also saw a temporary issue with the blue light warning system for lapped drivers.
